Featured Chinese City: Shanghai

Shanghai epitomizes the melding of dazzling innovation and modernization with history, tradition, and cultural heritage. Home to copious architectural styles, world-class cuisines, and contemporary art and creativity, Shanghai was designated as a UNESCO Creative City of Design in 2010. The city has put in place important initiatives to promote design as an important driver of industry development and social sustainability. Located in the Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone, Shanghai is also a center of global finance, and hosts large scale exhibitions such as the China International Import Expo, demonstrating the city’s commitment to strengthen cooperation and promote common prosperity of the world economy and under the “Belt and Road” Initiative. Under the framework of the Shanghai-Macao Cooperation Mechanism, GTEF seeks to promote collaboration between the two cities on tourism. Shanghai is a convincing example that showcases how tourism industry can translate innovation in technology into innovation in business models, business direction, and products – all of which would all go a long way towards sustaining Shanghai’s niche in the tourism sector.
